LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 7, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Space is becoming more congested, competitive and contested with thousands of small LEO satellites set to be put into orbit over the next decade.

For this reason, SMi Group are delighted to host Military Space Situation Awareness 2019 with an agenda that will explore the urgent need for space management strategies, as the domain grows increasingly congested and contested with debris and satellites.

The two-day conference taking place in London on the 1st-2nd April, will bring together key military, government, civilian and industry stakeholders to discuss technologies and strategies being utilised to build a greater understanding of where assets are, how they are moving and the management of space assets at the end of their shelf life.

A few of the Industry experts who are set to give presentations exploring space debris, include:

Mr Sean Goldsbrough, Senior Orbital Analyst, UK Space Agency, will present on ‘Debris Mitigation and Future Space responsibilities’ covering these topics:
• Coordination of national and international level to reach debris mitigation solutions
• Membership of the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC)
• Re-entry prediction and SSA and utilisation of the Starbrook system for satellite monitoring
• Work with Cranfield University to develop engineering solutions to disposing spacecraft at end of life
• Ensuring the satellites don’t become debris throughout their orbital lifetime
• Future responsibilities to ensure a coherent approach to space management

In addition, there are two post-conference workshops taking place on the 3rd April including:
Workshop A: ‘Space Law: What Space Sovereignty Means for Operating Safely in the 4th Domain’ hosted by Mr Klisman Murati, Director, Pangaea Wire
Workshop B: ‘Firming up the rules of the road: the legal Mechanics of STM’ hosted by Squadron Leader (Ret’d) Ralph Dinsley, Associate & Founder, Reflecting Space

With 120+ attendees expected, 7+ hours of networking and an extensive exhibition space – once again this year’s conference will provide an unparalleled chance to meet and network with all the key players in this important domain.
Recent attendees include: Military University of Technology – Poland, Kratos, CGI, Thales, Serco, STFC, RAL and many more.
